Her hands had known
and touched and felt
the best and the worst
that life had to offer.
They’d held a newborn
they’d kneaded bread
they’d mended sweaters
they’d caressed her man
felt a rose petal
petted a cat
soothed a boo boo
prayed to God.
Her hands had seen
their share of toil
and despair
triumph and joy
sorrow and love.
Do not mix love nd life. Life is messy i agree. There will difficult moments, bills that seem to be too much, jobs might be tiring. There will be staff issue..All this is ok. You may have to sell possessions just to make ends meet and live of grilled cheese sandwiches and hope. This is life. It’s going to be messy. However this chaos has nothing to do with love. If you love someone, keep all this mess aside and live those moments with him/her.
